And now there’s an extremely bright full moon rising - well, risen - out there

Strictly speaking it isn’t quite full yet but the moment of fullness is just before lunchtime tomorrow, and 99.5% full seems good enough

[NickFitz]

Tea: southern not-fried chicken with fries and ketchup

Haven’t had that in a while, or not the Sainsbury’s version. Made a nice change

[NickFitz]

Tonight's reading was more of This Is How You Lose the Time War. It’s growing on me

Goodnight all

Morning denizens

There’s a layer of high, thin cloud out, a bit thicker towards the north but with gaps towards the horizon in other directions which let the sun get through to varying degrees as it traverses the celestial sphere. The wind seems to have dropped as the current 7°C doesn’t “feel like” anything other than itself; the predicted high for the day is 10°. The barometers are racing upwards at 1014/1022mB

Morning all
Misty out, but dry and pleasantly warm.
Walk has been walked and Max wasn't limping as bad today as yesterday.

Morning.

Tuesday?

Drily damp.

Grey.

Sunless.

Dreary.

NotSoChilly in here at 14.3 deg, 1 something.5 in the kitchen, 12 in the leanto.

1021 mBar, 30.15 in Hg, 765.8 Torr, 14.8 psi, (up from 1015 last night), 67% RH (Lidl electric).

Meanwhile on the 19th of March 2020 AndyGarbs, Brillo, BR14, LM, NF, and I popped in: not long now until Bunter does his trick of shaking hands in a covid ward. .

The Orange Moron has rash on his neck. Maybe it's a bullet fragment that bounced off his brain.

Walk (unabbreviated, towpath) walked in the grey gloom.

Lunch: brunch. Entertainment: someone waffling on about Fred Nietzsche, the noon o'clock news, Y&Y waffling on about AI.

Gosh. Just started using the prescription reading glasses I bought in 2019. With an additional 1.25 diopter pair in front. Much more comfortable than the collection of 2.5 and 3.0 ready readers I've been using up until now..

Tea: soup etc. Nice enough. Entertainment: PM <click> when the Orange Moron with a red red rash came on..

Some youtube bollox about the Orange Moron's frontotemporal dementia and/or heart failure etc.

Thing about The Somerset(shire) Coal Canal and William Smith FGS, the originator of the Geological Map of the UK.

The Weatherman Walking around that Swansea: Dylan Thomas & all that. There's tidy then. Gosh. Lots of that isn't there any more having changed a bit since 2014. The other bit down west I couldn't comment about since it's mostly farming country.

Digging for Britain (not Wales who are blessed with some other mediocrity due to some tedious ball game or other). The North.

Stonehenge: secrets of the new stone: the altar stone: from that Scotland. Och, they'll have had their tea by the time they'd dragged that all the way down to Stonehenge.

And having done all that they disappeared.

Oh, now they're off to Orkney. Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae.

Morning all

Sunny and dry with only a few wisps about. Currently 11 degrees with a high of 14 expected. Cloud cover set to increase but still likely to remain 'mostly sunny'. Barometer up to 1027 mBar.

Sunrise 06:42; Sunset 17:45 GMT

Arcadia at The Old Vic was excellent yesterday. Funny, well staged, quite thought provoking too. It's rare that I come out and instantly think I want to see that again. Sadly, the remainder of the run is sold out.

Interest just announced. £175 this month, that's £475 for the calendar year and £1100 for the tax year

[NickFitz]

Lunch has been leftover kleftiko and roast spuds from Friday. Made a very nice change from the usual lunchtime options

Interest just announced. £175 this month, that's £475 for the calendar year and £1100 for the tax year

Three prizes for me, though only £25 each. Still, £75 is better than nowt

That makes £125 for this year, £1350 for the tax year

Nice sunny and warmish walk after my arty farty thing. Had to give a lift there to a lady (not on loony lady list) I know as she has broken her toe and ankle. Second fracture she's had in 6 months, old ladies get very fragile.
